Operated by Westchester County Parks, the farm functions as both a working farm and living museum, showcasing heritage breeds of livestock and traditional farming practices. Visitors can engage with over 50 animals including cows, horses, sheep, pigs, and chickens, and explore original barns, a blacksmith shop, and a milk house. The farm offers hands-on educational programming for children and adults, including seasonal camps, guided tours, and workshops on sustainable agriculture. Muscoot Farm is known for its vibrant Farmers Market, which runs from spring through fall and features produce and goods from regional farms and artisans. The farm also maintains a community-supported agriculture (CSA) program and volunteer opportunities, fostering a strong connection with the local community. With over 700 acres of hiking trails, the property encourages outdoor exploration alongside agricultural education. Muscoot is a popular destination for school field trips, family outings, and regional farm-to-table initiatives. Supported by both the public sector and community organizations, the farm plays a unique role in preserving agricultural history while remaining relevant to modern sustainability conversations.
